A Hackettstown teenager stomped his skateboard and broke it in half after police ticketed him for riding on a prohibited street, authorities said.

Jose Gamboa Jr., 19, was skateboarding along Route 46 about 10:50 p.m. Friday, police said in a news release today. A town officer spotted Gamboa and stopped him, explaining that skateboarding was not allowed on the road, police said.

As that was taking place, police said, a group of individuals walked by and Gamboa began to yell loudly and curse. After he was issued a summons for riding a skateboard on a prohibited street, the teenager began to stomp on the skateboard until it broke in half, police said.

After issuing the summonses, police released Gamboa pending a court appearance.
